Synopsis:
Little Wars is set in the French Alps in 1940 on the night that France falls
to German control. A dinner party is taking place that unites celebrated
writers Agatha Christie Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein and
Alice B. Toklas-with a mysterious guest. As the play progresses, confessions
are made and secrets are revealed. Although the play is fictional, it is
based on truth and brings up questions that are relevant today.
Available Roles:
Gertrude Stein, 65. The hostess. A Lesbian writer with no interest in the
conventional. American.
Alice B. Toklas, 62. Gertrude Stein's lover, secretary and muse. Are
enthusiast and collector. American.
Lillian Hellman, 34. A lying, chain-smoking, conniving woman who also
happens to be a brilliant writer. American.

cowers to Lillian out of respect and fear. American.
Agatha Christie, 49. A crime-fiction writer. Far too smart for her own
good. British.
Mary (Muriel Gardiner), 38. A psychiatrist working in the Austrian
underground to rescue Jews and dissidents. American.
Bernadette, 22. Gertrude and Alice's maidservant. German.
